Yes I did! :) Lovely game.
I never managed to figure out something clever for my signature on Paradoxplaza, and I doubt I'll do it here either.

Looks fun, even if it appears to be a simplified version of another familiar ASCII game featuring dwarves. :P (When has Paradox been known for publishing anything simple, though?) If only I had a computer to run it, though.... <shakes fist at technology changes>

Am enjoying EUIII. I've never really played the series before. Even though I'm floundering in the game so far for the more than few hours I've played, I love playing with the settings and just trying different things to see what I can make "explode." So far it's just been my own economy and armies. :lol:

I also saw that Paradox acquired the rights to the Majesty series a while back. I want to see a more updated version of that one. It has to be my favorite "sim" (more like RTS, but creators called it a sim, so guess we'll go with that) so far. Namely, I'd love to see it with effective online multiplayer with a match-making service and all that jazz that you get with normal RTS games.

Eh, pity Salem comunity is not in that boat, I'v read some good reviews of EUIII...

But still, keep on going Paradox, and don't forget Salem next time! ;)

Played through the first few levels of Game of Dwarfs

I like it so far, pretty fun only things I don't like
Building feels clunky
Clicking tiles to mine isn't very accurate
Mining down levels can be difficult to click along with building ladders
The camera and scrolling around feels choppy

Also playing Towns yet again (first time since alpha) very fun but very steep learning curve (nothing has changed in that respect) once you get the hang of it there's hours upon hours of play time there though. They're also upped the graphics and there's a ton of new things to do

I was also invited to the War Of Roses beta a while ago so I'll see you there Moo ;)

I'm always tempted to get towns. I end up just dling dorf fortress instead.

Is towns anything worth? I've had very bad experiences with alpha games.

Hey Moo, tell Paradox to make a mac version for Game of Dwarves. My husband and I would love to get it, but we only have macs. (Not splitting my macs ;) )
